The AY Society is the center of earnest, happy activity and Christian fellowship for the young people of the church. The various bands, AY Honor study groups, hobby clubs, and other groups that might otherwise lose contact with one another are bound together in the AY Society, and in the society meetings find inspiration, fellowship, and strength. The AY Society meeting is one of the most important appointments of the week for youth. Its importance is revealed in an analysis of its purpose.

To keep the challenge of the Aim, the Motto, and the Pledge before the Society.
To deepen the devotional life of each AY Society member.
To integrate the vital AY Society features and group activities into the thinking and life of the AY Society.
To keep the young people of the church in touch with the AY movement around the world.
To give an opportunity for each member to obtain an experience in public address and teamwork: praying together, studying together, planning together, and working together.
To hold before the youth Christian ideals and principles for Christian living—to help young people find a positive solution to their problems.
To study the most effective methods for doing different kinds of Christian service, and to organize the youth for successful witnessing.
To provide a time when the members of the AY Society may have an opportunity to tell “what they have tried to do for the Savior and what success has been theirs” and thus strengthen and inspire one another in their desire to live out the AY Society Pledge.
To provide pleasant Christian fellowship for the young people of the church.

The AY Society that consistently endeavors to attain these objectives will be a successful society and will be a mighty spiritual influence in the church and in the world.
